I don't think Apple lets people become aware of the fact that something
other with Windows competes with Mac OS. By the way, I had a typo in my last
E-mail. It's Brandon.
On Monday he wrote about operating systems for rent, mentioning this as a
/future possibility/ and failing to realise that renting is precisely how
Windows and OS X work (with 'pay as you go' as a patented technology
currently in testing). You pay for a licence to use something before being
forced to pay additional fees to upgrade (or 'upgrade' in the case of
Vista), sometimes even to patch.
